Created attachment 1687010 [details] Report created with reporting tool I wanted to install Fedora32 on my laptop where I have already installed Windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is going to be removed and instead Fedora32 should be installed. The Windows partition with a data partition is going to be kept. But the Ubuntu partition need to be deleted. Following partition scheme: /sda1 - boot partition of Windows, around 550MiB /sda2 - windows partition /sda3 - diag partition of windows /sda4 - extended partition /sda5 - root partition of Ubuntu (ext4) /sda6 - swap partition /sda7 - home partition (ext4) /sda8 - data partition of windows (ntfs) The mounpoint of sda5 is set to "/" and partition sda7 is to be removed and then created because it should become an encrypted partition. Re-creation fails. The partition can be removed but when added the partition (regardless if encryption is enabled or not) I always get the error message that the device is too small for the format. I have rather strange partition borders that seems not to be aligned to MiB/KiB borders. Installing of Fedora is not possible is this state :-(.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
